The State of Hate

Nov 5, 2008 - 6:27

Sadly, Proposition 8, the measure to ban same-sex marriages in California, seems to have passed by a pretty decent margin. It's a sad day for California, and a dark day for gay rights everywhere.

The SF Chronicle says "The flood of dollars that poured into the state from every part of the country made Prop. 8 the most expensive social issue race the nation has ever seen."

That flood of dollars they mention amounted to over $70 million, with the Yes side inching ahead by a few hundred thousand dollars. Either way, it is shocking that the same Californians who voted for Obama would deny homosexuals the right to marriage. Especially considering that Obama supports gay rights and equal right for all humans.

Results in California:

Voted for Barack Obama: 61.3%
Voted for Prop 8: 52.1%

At least here in Humboldt 60% of us voted against this hateful ballot measure. Shame on the other 40% for perpetuating hatred and denying a large group of Californians equal rights based on their sexual orientation. Way to push the human rights movement back a decade or so.

It is sad that a simple majority will be able to ammend the California Constitution to take rights away from loving couples.

Homonegativity is one of the last socially acceptable forms of bigotry. The list is getting shorter. These days it is still somewhat acceptable to be prejudiced against people who practice certain consensual behaviors. Gay love is one of these behaviors. Perhaps someday all citizens will be able to enjoy true liberty.

i knew it, the author is a fag

Shut up Tom Sebourn, Sam PHX is right, fuck the guy who writes this blog, he has the nerve to complain about a couple growers yet he is all for gay rights! Where does he get off denying us our right to medecine but gay marriage is cool? You think its fine to be a HUGE HATE MONGERING, Biggot peice of shit, that spend his spare time talking shit about people who are minding there own buisness. What about all the rental homes that get ruined from all the gay sex, i hear it leaves poop smears on the carpets and the drains gets clogged with anal lube and hair jell. Your sir are a biggot peice of shit hatter you need to leave this community because you are unwanted, you should move to israel where there is no grow ops and tons of fags for you to get down with.

Dudson and Sam, for reals? Obviously you are the same person, first off. Second, you think this blog is written by bigots, yet you discriminate against gays? I'm not surprised the author hasn't deleted those comments, because it really shows how bad this county actually is. Here you are, a criminal pot grower, and you're busting out all this extremely hateful stuff about gay people. Wow. This county is full of hate and ugliness, and it doesn't come from this blog, it comes from hateful growers like you!

hate problems

wow samphx, what a sad hateful child you are. you think that supporting equal rights for all humans is bigotry, and you also are a criminal pot grower who no doubt makes a good living without paying income taxes. you are an actual criminal, and you're afraid of gays?

i bet your parents are real proud to have a son who thinks anyone who supports equal rights for all humans without discrimination is homosexual because of it. also i am sure they would be proud that you grow pot in humboldt county and spew hatred anonymously on blogs.

we're all hoping that you get busted by the feds for your crimes, then go to prison where you get butt raped for a few years. you think we are all gay and full of hate for wanting to clean up our community and voting for equal rights? you are pathetic.

poor, poor, pathetic childish grower stuck in a fake world up in a secluded forest where the real america is hidden from you. sad!

good job dudson

I wish i was a humboldt grower, that would be the shit to make millions selling pot to faggots in sf. i was going to move to Humboldt but to here that it is full of homeless, tweekers, and faggots, i think Ill stay in the desert. I bet wihshwwi was molested in the butt by his father or uncle his whole life, that is why most people turn gay, Humboldt is a place for marijuana growers! tweekers and fags such as yourself should move to SF and molest little boys. ill smoke sum OG kush for you, marriage is a union betwwen one man and one woman, if you homos want to be have equal rights that is fine, jus dont call it marriage!!!

By Tom Sebourn, on Nov 7, 2008 - 16:16

samPHX, you give a bad name to pot growers.

actually

By marcus, on Nov 7, 2008 - 17:00

Sam makes the whole human race look bad. People like him are actively destroying our nation's sense of community and decency, and corroding our quality of life by spreading hatred and discrimination.

what is the definition of marriage?

By samPHX, on Nov 7, 2008 - 17:33

or do you guys smoke too much of my product to know? and Tom im not a cannabis grower but I know growing plants is not wrong, you all need to check your own morals if you think homosexuality is acceptable! and wihshwwi i bet your two male parents are very proud of you! you support homosexuality and defile marriage, make them proud buddy, im not agaisnt gays but for gays to get married is a disgrace

sam has a point but spews hatred

By SHC Bo$$, on Nov 7, 2008 - 23:22

the author continually mentions his hate towards big time growers who keep this county running yet he says it is ok to be gay. I would rather see Humboldt county full of fellow growers than homosexuals. but sam we must also respect the rights of others to have freedom. the same government who wants to shut down us sucessful millionaire growers is the same government that wants to control peoples lives and tell them they cant be gay.whats next they tell us who to marry? but the authors of this blog really do need to check thier moral standards

Hmmmmm

Those who have been discriminated against don't seem to hesitate when they get a chance to discriminate against others. So Ironic! So Sad!

Wow! I am jealous. I wish I had some serious cranks throwing out sub-stupid comments on my blog like you have on yours. You have all the luck.

By Authors, on Nov 13, 2008 - 10:10

Haha Joe, no kidding! Lots of hatred in the comments around here. It's a real shame, but if that's how it is then I guess that's how it's gonna be. SamPHX is especially hateful, and we are very much looking forward to more comments from him so that he may further dig himself into a hole of confusion and anger.

By Tom Sebourn, on Nov 21, 2008 - 15:26

Is it moral to pay taxes? SamPHX, do you pay yours as the gays pay theirs?

Not Surprised by Author

Anyone who could justify the government telling people what plant they should or should not grow could justify the government gifting rights to people due to what is by all standards a religious ceremony.

As the government does do silly things, it should do the same things for everyone regardless of their sexual preference. I would think it equally ridiculous to deny herbal cannabis therapy to a person due to their sexual preference as it is to deny them marriage rights.

Paying taxes on raw products is questionable to say the least. Why should anyone have to pay taxes on a product which is literally grown, cut, dried, and sold as medicine? I find the taxpayer argument as pointless as the proponents of the "legalize and tax the hell out of cannabis" proposals. Like that $5 per eighth tax initiative... why does the government need to apply a sales tax equal to the production cost?

But to say like the above poster that they'd rather "have growers than homosexuals," guess what? Humboldt County is full of both, deal with it.
